Magnum Ignition
 
3 Attachment(s)
I have been working on a M-20 in a friends tractor. He had an interment spark issue (LH) side. Sometimes the engine would run smooth, then out of the blue it would run on only 1 cylinder. This was driving me :angry: crazy trying to catch it and then trace it down. I couldn't figure out why it had spark on one side and not on the other. Spark comes from the same ignition module for both sides. I was contemplating it was that the LH had rubbed through & grounding out....NOPE. Well, I finally found it today. Turns out to be the Spark Plug Wire snap end. Cut open the boot.& pried the old one off. I happen to have a plug wire laying around. Installed the new (newer) end along with a new boot.....Lo & Behold Huston, we complete ignition. Now, I would have never thought it would have been a bad wire end. Attached are pictures. And yes it is somewhat distorted to get it off, but the condition of the end says a lot.

Thanks guys.

I thought I would bring this to light in case anyone else would have an Ignition issue with just one side on the Magnum Series.

Like Eric said, sometimes it's the simplest things that are the hardest to find. Good job Roland! :beerchug:

Yes, this is a good one to file away, problem is, sometimes those little guys up there in the file room can't find it.
